IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cylance
Inc., the leading provider of AI-driven, prevention-first security
solutions, today recognized employees at all levels of the organization
for their contributions to company innovation and cybersecurity industry
leadership.

Cylance Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Stuart McClure recognized
outstanding employee achievement ahead of the company’s quarterly
business outlook meeting scheduled later this month. “We’re proud of the
amazing talent here at Cylance,” said McClure, “It’s inspiring to see
such highly capable staff expand and elevate their ideas to push the
boundaries of AI and security technology. Both Cylance and the broader
security industry are stronger and more innovative as a result of their
efforts.”

Since the company’s founding in 2012, Cylance employees have been
awarded more than 20 patents and have over 80 applications in various
stages of the prosecution process that cover a broad range of inventions
in the fields of artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, computer
forensics, and privacy-enhancing technologies. The company has won
best-in-class awards and recognition from more than two dozen
globally-renowned brands, including Forbes, CNBC, Goldman Sachs,
Deloitte, and the World Economic Forum.

To date, more than 30 organizations from around the world have
recognized Cylance for technological innovation. To keep their fingers
on the pulse of new ideas and industry advances, Cylance employees
participate in cybersecurity panels and deliver keynote addresses at
more than 200 events in a given year, including global events hosted by
industry-leading organizations such as Gartner, Forbes, and the Wall
Street Journal.

“Our employees continually go above and beyond the routine expectations
of a full-time cybersecurity job,” said Daniel Doimo, Cylance president
and chief operating officer. “In departments that range from sales and
marketing to legal and engineering, Cylancers have held faculty
positions or guest lectured at some of the country’s leading colleges
and universities, including Berkeley, Columbia, Cornell, MIT, Stanford,
Tulane, and UCI, allowing us to continue to attract the best talent from
around the world.”

Cylance employees share their security knowledge and expertise with
vulnerable entities—even the U.S. government—as evidenced by many hours
of congressional testimony designed to make the world safer by educating
both CISOs and employees about the security threats facing businesses
today. In a notable example of these efforts, the company was named by
the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform as having played
a critical role in discovering, halting and remediating the data breach
at the United States Office of Personnel Management. Lawmakers
behind the report note, "The significance of the cutting-edge
preventative technology offered by Cylance in responding to the OPM data
breach cannot be understated." Cylance was able to find things that
other tools could not "because of the unique way that Cylance functions
and operates. It doesn’t utilize a standard signature of heuristics or
indicators, like normal signatures in the past have been done.”

Importantly, Cylance staffers throughout the company routinely work with
internal data science and research teams to help build more robust user
models and more precise AI algorithms. They also contribute to important
scientific and technological journals to speed the development and
adoption of new and better cybersecurity models.
